The way you differentiate it from a mock Russian village is that you don't see toilets outside, so you know that the dwellings have indoor plumbing. Almost 2024 and 20% of Russians still go to the bathroom outside... What a sad country.

I am skeptical that Ukraine will regain all lost ground. I just don't think that's very realistic, at least in the short term. They've done an amazing job as is of retaking as much ground as they have, causing such significant Russian retreats last year. I am going to continue to focus on the...

Expect to hear it come out soon that South Korea is going to send USA another large batch of artillery shells (500 thousand to 1 million) to backfill U.S. stockpiles, so that the U.S. can continue to aggressively ship their own shells to Ukraine. South Korea's constitution does not allow them to...

As previously reported, USA 🇺🇸 bought Gepard anti-aicraft systems from Jordan 🇯🇴, for donation to Ukraine. We now know that the USA purchased 60 Gepards, for $118 million usd. These 60 systems will play a huge role in Ukraine's air defense, especially against Shahed drones, which they've proved...

Actually, primary CAS for Ukraine right now has come in the form of MI-24 helicopters and FPV drones. Those have been, by far their most consistent CAS platforms as the line of contact.

Ukraine 🇺🇦 has already committed $42 Billion usd towards the war for 2024, a 40% increase on what they spent in 2023. USA 🇺🇸 will, eventually pass the $61 Billion usd that Biden is looking for. Germany 🇩🇪 has committed an additional 8 Billion Euros for 2024. Canada 🇨🇦 will at least match this...

Germany 🇩🇪 will double the amount of military aid to Ukraine that they had initially intended to send in 2024. The original plan for Germany was to send $4 Billion usd in military aid in 2024, but Germany has decided to double the amount of aid that they will send to $8 Billion. Canada 🇨🇦 has...

Some fine dressed ladies and gentlemen! Heck, they even invited some people dressed as wizards. Always interesting to see the apparel choice of people from around the world! We've got some funny dress in our neck of the woods as well!

I'm always shocked by what seems like a lot of money to people that live in that region. $7 billion, seems like so little in the grand scheme of things, similar to the $4 billion USA gives Israel every year. For context, $3.4 Billion worth of trade (goods and services) crosses the USA / Canada...

A Nov 1st Ukrainian 🇺🇦 strike on the Russian command centre in the Dnipro region killed 3 of the command group's most senior officers, according to published Russian obituaries. Colonel Vadym Dobryakov (Deputy Head of the Dnipro Control Centre) Colonel Oleksandr Galkin (Deputy Head of the...

Maybe a 4th would have driven the point home? On a serious note, I'm glad you got out alive!

My point has not changed. War is what it is. It's nasty and brutal. Nobody is calling for the targeting of citizens, only acknowledgeding that naturally, citizens will be killed in any conflict that involves a massive bombing campaign against militants imbeded with the civilian population. This...

German 🇩🇪 arms dealer Rheinmetall will provide Ukraine with 100,000, 120mm mortar rounds, paid for by the German government. Deliveries will begin prior to the end of 2023 and will extend through 2024 and early 2025...

European Union 🇪🇺 will use "workaround" legislation to ensure that Hungary CANNOT block he EU's planned 50 Billion Euro aid package for Ukraine. They will also continue to freeze 22 Billion Euros worth of EU money that would be destined for Hungary...

It's really sad to see people being forced from their homes and required to walk to relative safety. I genuinely feel bad for these folks. That said, I'd ultimately much rather they be escorted to safety than to be stuck in an urban war zone among combatants.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will travel to South Korea on Wednesday for two days of conferences with South Korea's President, National Security Advisor and Foreign Minister. The parties will discuss, among other things, North Korea's supply of weapons to Russia. South Korea's...

Excellent news about Russia mass refurbishing old tanks, which will make up the majority of the "new" tanks that they introduce into their inventories. That tells us two key things... 1. They have deeply taxed their current arsenal of operational tanks and the Oryx list is relatively accurate...

They key to this article is the following. 1. Russia produces 125,000 shells per month, enough for them to maintain a 4000 shell per day rate, assuming none of that ammunition is destroyed before it gets to the front. As we've seen in this war, that rarely happens. 2. Russia is actually firing...

At least in the short term, Ukraine has a lack of skilled / highly trained soldiers available to use all of the sophisticated equipment that the West is sending them. Attrition has hit the Ukrainians hard, as it has the Russians, however, unlike Russia, Ukraine doesn't have an unlimited stream...

Continuing to find and hit significant Russian ammunition depots will allow Ukraine to undermine any Russian logistics as it relates to meaningful advance. In particular, hitting Russia's dwindling supply of artillery rounds and guided ordinance, will help keep Ukraine in the fight ahead of...
